Visitors and residents of Kīhei and Wailea are asked to conserve water for the next 24 hours due to an 18-inch transmission line break near Kaiola Place in North Kīhei, according to a County of Maui Department of Water Supply announcement today.
The lottery will determine which successful applicants will secure one of the new housing units at the project site, which is planned for construction at the corner of Kaiola Place and ʻOhukai Road, a few blocks mauka from Mai Poina ‘Oe Ia’u and Kalepolepo Beach Park.

On the heels of a Maui County Council-backed workforce housing project in Kihei, local construction company Betsill Brothers is planning another 100 percent affordable development, this time in Wailuku.
A $66-million, 204-unit development is slated for nearly 15 acres off the mauka end of Kuikahi Drive in Wailuku. Designed as a mixed neighborhood, the project will comprise single-family, duplex, multifamily, live-work and tiny home units. A draft environmental assessment will be submitted in the next few months, and the project is about two to three years from having homes available, according to Doyle Betsill, Alaula Builders LLC president.
